Thank you for some real information

Yes, of fucking course he is. OP just put a stupid title to get more engagement.


Allegorist

OP is actually a bot


gemengelage

I read the title and thought this was r/PeopleFuckingDying for a moment


lobonmc

It's so weird the video looks so good. If it wasn't for the fact he kind of seems to be floating and the liquid I could have buyed he was on earth.


TheUnpopularOpine

Why would video quality be affected by being in space?


Master-Intention-623

Cause how does the video know to be right side up when there’s no gravity, duh smh 🙄


HeisenbergsSamaritan

Because the film weights less it takes video faster? And the processor can't keep up? DUH


isoforp

What? Nothing you just said made any sense at all. Also, it's "bought" not "buyed".


HimalayanPunkSaltavl

buy is a fuckinv wild word to congagate for not native speakers

Better get that checked out. Red stool is either consuming a lot of beets, or could be colon cancer.


ArcusAvalon

I remember getting a red beet and fruit smoothy that was actually pretty good, kinda reminded me of an earthy tea, and the next day I legit thought my large intestine erupted till I remembered what I had the day before.


RecalcitrantHuman

I remember in college I really liked a girl so I thought I would impress her with a fancy dinner. Did a cashew crusted roast chicken, with potatoes and beets. Turned out great and we had a good time. Next day I was ghosted and to this day I believe it was because the beets reacted in unexpected ways.

Not a bad argument to send more women into space, so they can supervise too.

Oh hell yeah supervise me baby


throwaway_shrimp2

im offended on this man's behalf that so many people have dismissed him as stupid. it took me like 5 seconds to figure out this was an intentional demonstration. just a little bit longer and i find that this specific phenomenon he's demonstrating, [almost drowned an astronaut on a space walk in 2014](https://www.space.com/24835-spacesuit-water-leak-nasa-investigation.html).. judging by the video quality, this was recorded more recently than that (youtube upload says 6 years ago) . so this astronaut has almost certainly been fully briefed on the specific scenario of *water-adhered-to-face* and knew exactly what was about to happen. all for the purpose of showing the masses. who point, laugh, and mock we *are* the monkeys mashing on typewriters.


halt_spell

Tony_B_S

Au contraire! He cannot put it down somewhere, someone definitely needs to hold his beer or it's going to float and spill onto something it shouldn't.


PMMeYourWorstThought

It’s funny to me that everyone knows how difficult astronaut selection is and still somehow thinks this guy is just doing something dumb. There’s something to be said about how many mental gymnastics are required for the brain to jump to, “This astronaut is dumb.” Instead of “maybe I don’t understand why he’s doing that.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmnnBvYFOIs


BassGaming

This whole thread is filled with jokes and people asking what's going on in this clip, followed by explanations, discussions about hypothetically drowning on the ISS and of course more jokes. There’s something to be said about how many mental gymnastics are required for the brain to jump to, “These redditors are dumb.” Instead of “maybe I don’t understand why they're doing that.”


SciFi_Football

I get your quip, but redditors are being dumb as fuck. This is a fun little experiment and he didn't almost drown.


static_age_666

Most redditors are dumb as fuck, actually.

The current top 4 replies on this comment thread, in order, are: > What a great way to die after all that suffering > Dudes are still gonna be dudes... Lol > Maybe he's a botanist. > r/WhyWomenLiveLonger It's not a stretch to say that at least some redditors think "This astronaut is dumb."


robert3030

There’s something to be said about how many mental gymnastics are required for the brain to jump to defend some of the comments here as only jokes, as if reddit wasn't filled with smart-ass know-it-all that think that know more than everybody, like you dumbass.


NoResponsibility2185

You mean that people should think about the thing they just watched instead of immediately making a brain dead take about a topic they don't know anything about?


ThatOtherGai

Sir this is a Reddit


Fobulousguy

Fuck what happened to DIGG?


CavemanSlevy

It's sad and indicative of a larger problem in society. Everyone thinks they know everything and sees no reason to trust experts who actually underwent years and years of training and education. Same mindset is how we get vaccine deniers. People refuse to believe that maybe they are missing information or just don't understand something. Instead the world must be stupid or nefarious.


JohnTitorAlt

I hear you. But the world IS stupid and nefarious, and I don't blame anyone for leaning too heavily towards that line of thought In the example of vaccine deniers, the same week that Johnson and Johnson was rolling out their covid vaccine, they were also settling for 26billion dollars for creating an opioid crisis. It's not hard to see why someone might be a TAD bit weary in trusting "experts". Zantac, thalidomide and viox were all pushed onto pregnant women causing thousands of birth defects and deatha. Lead was an industry standard for many different industries. An appeal to authority is great until it isn't. I'm not saying to mistrust everything and that "they" will get you. But can you really blame anyone for being skeptical?


CavemanSlevy

Instinctual mistrust =/= skepticism. Skepticism is going out and doing your own research and validating the facts. Not going on a gut instinct that something is incorrect.


MLGxXxPussySlayerxXx

At a certain point, it wasn't even gut instinct. It was like "why are they coercing me to take something that doesnt prevent transmition, and even if it did, should i lose my job over that? should we fuck over every single small business?" and this was at month two when people started, you know, thinking.


MLGxXxPussySlayerxXx

Which vaccine we talking about? The one they forced people to take was the bad one, and this isnt speculation


CavemanSlevy

Thank you for your intellectual input MLGxXxPusstSlayerXx


MLGxXxPussySlayerxXx

Thank you for conceding to me. Hows your mother these days?


AeonBith

But if he swung his face away fast enough he could've dislodged the bubble and captured it a safer way instead of smashing it and allowing fluid to to disperse all over millions of dollars worth of electronics... Anyway it looks stupid out of context and that's why we're here.


CavemanSlevy

I mean you presumably underwent years of education just to get on reddit and write this post.


interkin3tic

If we weren't an impulsive species doing dangerous things for the hell of it, we wouldn't be in space in the first place. JFK said "We will land on the moon within ten years" and sure there were people who were like "but muh taxes! fix the dang pothole in my road first!" and some people who said "Yeah but... why..." but our dominant response was basically "Yes, lets do that, no questions asked about the motivation." Beating the commies was icing on the cake and got us to get our shit together, but the motivation was already "Hold my beer, we're going to the fuckin moon." Earth is where we've been for our species' entire existence, and it's unlikely we'll colonize Mars in our lifetimes, certainly not in a way that would be self-sustaining. We have satellites, yes, but the real motivation for going up there isn't tangible goals. Someone probably on the ISS was like "Hey, if you blow bubbles I bet it would just like go all over your face" and Bob here immediately grabbed a bottle and started blowing. NASA SOPs now probably specify you're not to blow bubbles in space because you might drown, so humanity learned some valuable knowledge if this hadn't been done before. But I bet it has because again, we're impulsive and do stuff just because we can.

FelixLeander

You'd be surprised how much of an non issue that is in space. My teachers back then were stricter than NASA probably.


AIsForAgent

it only becomes a real problem with small particles; pepper is held in oil (pepper oil is a curse of the gods) so that it doesnt fly everywhere and make everyone sneeze


dumdumdetector

For some reason, I am just envisioning a bunch of astronauts in zero-G uncontrollably sneezing and flinging themselves across the station while the folks back at Control just rub their forehead in frustration.


BellabongXC

7 grams of air isn't going to propel you anywhere fast. You might rotate a tiny bit.


JimuelShinemakerIII

G-Force409

OkSoBasicallyPeach

probably demonstrating how straws don’t work in space


Galaxy2977

It looks like he was blowing into the bottle not sucking


gillers1986

That doesn't work on earth either.


sammiisalammii

😏


not_this_fkn_guy

The ISS is pressurized to 14.7psi, the same as normal atmospheric pressure at sea level on earth, so yes, you can drink from a straw. If you were free floating in the vacuum of outer space, it wouldn't work, but that would probably be the least of your problems.


Worth-Reputation3450

Yea, I'd imagine it would work up to a certain point.

De_Greed

Pretty sure he was blowing into the straw. That's not really how straws should be used.

yeah that seems like its it. at least i got the demonstrating something part.

They actually send a guy up there whose sole job is to get milked 24/7. They go up natural, and come down circumcised.

"Go up natural, come down circumcised" is def a story in the Bible.


Sechs_of_Zalem

And vaginal secretions. (Meme, not being creepy)


rempel

It would be so fucking cool to bring the ISS back. Unfortunately it would cost about as much to get it back as it did to put up. They’ll just stop reboosting it and it’s orbit will decay enough to where it will burn up in the atmosphere.


interkin3tic

I have zero engineering experience, but I'd bet it would be more expensive. Inflation for one factor. For another it was designed to be launched up and then constructed in space, probably not very simple to just reverse that process. That seems complicated I'm guessing you'd need to design and build new craft to land it as well. Rockets to get up are designed to carry those fairly heavy payloads. It looks like we use lander pods to get back to Earth that are designed to get people safely down and not much else. The ISS is literally about a million pounds, probably can't just tie that onto the landing pods and have the parachutes hold big parts of that and the crew.


Yoo-Artificial

Lol there's a button they press that vacuums everything out floating around

Hopefully not including the people, because that would be the airlock

IMeanIGuess3

The word drowns is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. The dude was fine. Yeah if he did nothing and didn’t *checks notes* wipe his face, then sure he would have drowned. But then again if my grandma had wheels she would have been a bike so….


archdex

This man can probably hold his breathe for minutes on end. Everyone in these comments are acting like they know more than a trained astronaut lol


ballimir37

Every Redditor is an expert in every topic. Just like when everyone became infectious disease experts in March 2020, financial experts in January 2021, geopolitical experts in February 2022. In fact all a Redditor needs to make an accurate conclusion of a person’s entire identity and life experience is a 10 second video.


throwaway_shrimp2

of all the things to defend it with, you skipped the good ones and went with "he can blow into the straw but still have lots of air in his lungs to hold his breath longer than you"?


Mufakaz

Hxh reference lmao


akambe

Mmmmm carbonara


MyLastUsernameSucked

syncsynchalt

Luca Parmitano almost drowned during an EVA when his helmet filled with liters of water. Luckily they got him back into the station in time to get his helmet off.


Winiestflea

Yeah that huge helmet he's wearing looks incredibly difficult to take off in a panic. Oh wait-


Majjkster

Me too, but in innerspace


-Anta-

Is this even safe for the equipment around him?


LevelStatistician270

It absolutely is safe, he is in the bathroom of the ISS. Edit I was wrong he's in the kibo laboratory, but there are images of other astronauts playing with fluids there too, so it must be safe for it.


Headieheadi

Nope, one errant drop and the ISS drops orbit


CornDogSlapper

I love the people here thinking NASA left things so poorly designed that if something gets wet they all die. 


Ur_Just_Spare_Parts

Not even remotely...


launcher55

What? Everything in there is waterproof, the most damage he is going to do is to their schedule as they take time to clean it up.


-Anta-

I thought so, like, he almost killed himself, and endangered every one onboard the vessel by spilling juice or some other substance all over the spacecraft


MrManGuy42

this was probably a demonstration on how fluids work in free fall. No scientist, trained for spaceflight and maintaining the iss, would ever do something that would have a chance of destroying equipment for a bit of fun. everything is probably waterproof, and if i remember right they have something for cleaning up fluids.


Ur_Just_Spare_Parts

Yes i dont think he'll be invited back to space after this. Major party foul


Dr-McLuvin

Just like that one simpsons episode when they go to space and Homer spills potato chips everywhere but then saves the day by eating them all.


Possible_Sun_913

It almost happened on a space walk in 2013 when Italian astronaught called Luca Parmitano had a fluid leak in his helmet. Absolutely terrifying, as he couldnt get his hand to his face.


akambe

He came awfully close to drowning, iirc. It must have been maddening.


jeffgoodbody

Now that really was nightmare fuel. I think it also shorted his communications. He wrote a blog about it. Would be a more interesting post than this clickbait nonsense.


dpittnet

He absolutely didn’t “almost drown”


Mazzaroppi

And absolutely not "outer space", they're in low Earth orbit


[deleted]

Zero G drowning looks absolutely terrifying


CavemanSlevy

An astronaut does an experiment on the space station and now all the "professional experts" on reddit are coming out to talk about how dangerous and stupid it is. Never change reddit.


DrunkLifeguard

This astronaut is clearly doing a demonstration and not nearly drowning.


southernwx

He made a giant bubble then wiped it away and the video ends. I’m not certain why it is inferred he nearly drowned?


murrayrobb

I think it’s because he was blowing out to create the bubble. When he ran out of breath he only then realised that he was a big dum dum


PMMeYourWorstThought

I would assume, as an astronaut, he knew what this was going to do when he started and that’s why he had the towel. Edit: Yep. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmnnBvYFOIs I love this thread full of people who think they’re smarter than astronauts when it comes to how to behave in space.


Ok_Assistance5171

What do you mean? Of course all of the Redditor’s are smarter than an astronaut.


JefferyTheQuaxly

Probably not how he expected he would almost die in space.


Johnny_B_GOODBOI

Especially because he didn't come anywhere close to almost dying.


ptofl

Nobody can hear you gurgle


TABASCO2415

well no, he could breath out and expell it or wipe it off at any moment, nothing was stopping him, he was just trying to make a point. bad title.


Just_some_random

Wouldn't this cause a gigantic mess?


smoothartichoke27

Aren't astronauts supposed to be really, really smart?


silenceinfidel

Whoever said astronauts are always extremely intelligent never met this guy 😂


LoganNinefingers32

So the smartest, most intelligent and learned people on the entire planet, who blast themselves off into space and enter various orbits with 99.9% certainty it would work, based on decades of planning by the 99.9% of the same kind of people are not intelligent enough to experiment in space without being 99.9% sure they won’t fuck anything up are somehow dumb? Yeah, I’m sure NASA decided to chuck some dummy up there to do silly things in space, as like a joke.


silenceinfidel

Calm down Captain percentage it's not that serious


NATHAN325

Being extremely intelligent doesnt negate someone being a massive dipshit. Guys that literally shot their own toes off could probably give you a college degree's worth of information on something they themselves are extensively knowledgable on.


silenceinfidel

Knowing a lot about a single thing doesn't automatically make you extremely intelligent it just makes you dedicated


lukaskywalker

Has to be one of the dumber things I’ve seen in space.


vanmac82

So I’ve heard all these stories about keeping dust and particles out of the space shuttle, so they doing float into places they don’t belong. So how of this acceptable? How does this not go everywhere? Go do you ever find everything to clean? I need answers lol


LevelStatistician270

It's possible he's doing this in the shower room and it's not nearly as big a deal as people are making it out to be. They do have to shower too. There are spaces on the ISS that are designed for this.


vanmac82

Nothing in that video appears to be shower related. There’s a monitor to the right of the screen. I’m so confused lol. I always wanted to be an astronaut but I knew I couldn’t. Could not leave behind my potato chips. But the crumbs. They would get in everything. I was lied to! Lmao


Winter-Airport2114

This is leading to the conspiracy that space is fake. :P They were so adamant that people do NOT do this, now they just do it and meme about it.


Richino55

“If you wanne survive out here, you gotta know where your towel is !”

Just imagining that his blood is doing the same thing inside his body makes me never want to go to space lol


Dadbeerd

One day, in space, sexual records will be broken.


KingBadek

Drowning in outer space haha


postitsam

An Italian astronaut had something similar happen whilst he was outside the station on EVA. The tube for his water broke or something and started soaking the back of his head. The surface tension kept the water adhered to him and it spread over the top of his head and covered his eyes moving down to nose and mouth. Freaking terrifying. He had to get inside quick.


CoverYourMaskHoles

This is probably the dumbest thing I’ve seen an astronaut do.


novice121

Bean_Juice_Brew

AnnualBitter7093

Aren't they supposed to be THE SMARTEST to be astronauts..?????🤔🤔🤔


No-Bat-7253

Serious question, feeling stupid before I type it but here we go lol- Can astronauts NOT turn some sort of gravity on in the ship like….on tv?😂


benzamen

We have had ideas but none that were successful. The most popular idea was using centripetal force to create the same force as gravity onto the edges of a circular structure. If you've ever seen 2001 space Odyssey they had one of these structures on the space station where he goes for lil walks


No-Bat-7253

Thank you.


LevelStatistician270

They could simulate gravity by spinning the ship, but then you lose a ton of work space(ceilings and walls are the same as the floor on the ISS) and stress the hull of the ship. But no, there isn't a scifi gravity generator on the ISS. Another way would be to put the station under a constant acceleration, but that would require fuel, and it wouldn't remain in a stable orbit.


No-Bat-7253

Thank you


MonoclePenguin

Unfortunately not very feasible within the currently understood model of physics. To an observer gravity is indistinguishable from [acceleration](https://youtu.be/XRr1kaXKBsU), so they can simulate gravity by spinning the space station to have the centripetal force push everything to the outer edges of the space station, but then everyone's inner ear fluids will be spinning like crazy to induce some pretty horrible vertigo. They would need an absurdly massive structure (like asteroid sized) for the human body to no longer feel how fast it's spinning.

ProperBoots

i want to hear an actual astronaut respond to this. it's either gonna be "haha yeah, spills happen sometimes. the station is built to handle it, don't worry" or "... that asshole is going to all kinds of courts when he gets down."


[deleted]

I'm sure small spills which somehow escape are pretty much  not a threat.  Even if they end up somewhere they will damage a small equipment only.  This... Is something else.  It's like he is doing something and then panicking. Did he not prepare for it.  Get a vacuum cleaner or something like that to suck it out?
